Healing is a village and civil parish in North East Lincolnshire, England. It is situated between Stallingborough and Great Coates, and west from Grimsby. The village dates from at least the early medieval period, but later contracted to a few habitations. Healing railway station opened in 1848, and in the late 1800s/early 1900s the village expanded. The parish was once known as the site of a healing spring. Outside the village there are no significant habitations in the parish. A large textile fibre plant was constructed by Courtaulds near the Humber bank in the late 1950s, and near the boundary with Great Coates a large industrial estate, Europarc, was established in the 1990s. ==History== Human activity in the area dates from at least the Roman Britain period: there is archaeological evidence south west of the village of an Iron Age enclosure complex, showing multiple periods of use. Healing was a manor at the time of the Domesday Book, in which it is referenced three times, as "Hegelinge", "Hechelinge", and "Heghelinge". The medieval village is thought to have diminished in size at some period in its history. The parish church of St Peter and St Paul dates from the 13th century. The upper parts of the bell tower are in the Decorated Gothic style and ashlar faced. The church was partly rebuilt in 1840, and underwent a Victorian restoration in 1876 by Fowler of Louth, who added a new roof and windows and rebuilt its south side.〔''Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire with the port of Hull'' 1885, p. 472〕〔Cox, J. Charles (1916) ''Lincolnshire'' p. 162; Methuen & Co. Ltd〕 Within the churchyard is a listed 14th- or 15th-century cross base. The church is a Grade II listed building.〔 Healing Manor (or Healing Hall) was begun in the early 18th century, and is thought to have been a replacement for an earlier manor house. Remains of the former manor exist as moats, one of which has been incorporated into the gardens of the modern Hall. Healing railway station and the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway opened in 1848, north of the village. In the Victorian period two springs were known in the parish close by each other, one fresh water, the other chalybeate, which were said to be efficacious in curing skin disorders. () This led some to claim that the parish's name had its origin in the curative waters.〔 The population of the parish in 1821 was 94,〔 and was 102 around 1872. In 1885 ''Kelly's Directory'' noted that the parish area was , farmed on the four field system.〔 Around 1887 the village consisted of the church, the Manor House, a rectory, three fairly substantial detached dwellings (Healing House (later Healing Manor cottages), Ivy House and Healing Rookery) and a few other buildings. The remainder of the parish was mainly empty, enclosed fields, apart from Wadd Farm and Woad Farm north of the village,〔Ordnance Survey Sheet 22NW 1887〕 and Healing Wells farm to the south west.〔Ordnance Survey Sheet 21NE 1887〕 Parts of Healing Wells farm are now listed structures. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Healing, Lincolnshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
